Memphis is expected to provide a recovery timeline following the procedure, but Caldwell-Pope is expected to make a full recovery. While he is sidelined, Taylor Hendricks and Jahmai Mashack are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Caldwell-Pope will get the night off for the Grizzlies. His absence won't impact their rotation for fantasy managers.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3PT, 2-2 FT) and grabbed three rebounds in Wednesday's 117-98 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Fantasy Impact

Caldwell-Pope saw more work than usual on Wednesday with Ja Morant (calf) out of the lineup for Memphis. He was able to score 14 points in just 17 minutes of action, which left him with a good fantasy total. He isn't expected to be a good game-to-game fantasy option over the back half of the season, however.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran has been dealing with a hamstring injury recently, but it's no longer an issue for him and he carries no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game. He will see more work than usual if Ja Morant (calf) is ruled out against the Lakers.
